We now have flu vaccines available for ages 6 months through 64 years old.
We’ve already seen several cases of Flu A in the clinic this season.
âś… Flu Shot Facts:
-Reduces severity: You can still get the flu after the vaccine, but symptoms are usually much milder and complications are less likely.
-Prevents hospitalization: Flu shots significantly lower the risk of hospitalization and death, especially in children, older adults, and people with chronic health conditions.
-Protects your community: Getting vaccinated helps protect those around you, like babies, elderly family members, or anyone with a weakened immune system.
-Updated each year: The flu shot is reformulated yearly to match the most common circulating strains.
-Safe for most ages: Recommended for everyone 6 months and older (unless a provider advises otherwise).
-Quick immunity: It takes about 2 weeks after vaccination for your body to build protection.
Stay healthy, Olive Hill! 🍂💪
